POLICE have released a CCTV image of a man they want to trace following a racially aggravated assault in Pensnett last month.

The suspect entered the Tesco Express store on High Street on September 16 and attempted to buy alcohol.

He then became aggressive when staff questioned his age.

During the disagreement, he threw money at the cashier and attempted to walk out.

When a staff member tried to stop him, the suspect assaulted him and shouted racial abuse.

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC James Finnegan by emailing j.finnegan@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk
